"Ask Mr. Abbe" at The Holly Inn Fact About the Boyhood ay of Jlublnatetn, the Great Musician WHEN the young students of music listen to the wonderful com positions of Anton Grigarijevitch R u b i n stein they think of him as a genius, a god, who did not walk the earth as we do, breathed differ ent air, whose diet if he ate at all was something too dainty for the common mortal to subsist on. But Rubinstein was like other boys in many respects, like them in his early boyhood days ; but only then, for at the age of ten he was appearing before the public as an artiste, and no longer was he a child outwardly, though we may surmise the little Anton would rather have played ball or some other jolly games with his comrades abode in St. Petersburg. There he opened a studio for the teaching of pupils. At intervals he appeared at the Imperial Palace, playing for royalty. It was in 1862 that Rubinstein estab lished a conservatory of music, and be gan making regular concert tours throughout Europe. While at the very height of his art he visited the United States, winning laurels everywhere. Rubinstein composed many symphon ies, overtures, operas and sonatas, all of the rarest beauty and highest grade of merit. Once when some friend was ad vising him to write music to be "better understood by the common people," his reply was : "Let us not minister to the cravings of the ignorant for foolish amusement. What satisfaction can there be for a mujik to pay 15 kopecks to see on the stage the same drunkard in sheep skin whom he meets each day in the pot- F1ND TnE MUSICIAN'S PUPIL than to have sat the hours of the day through at the pianoforte. Anton Rubinstein was of Jewish par entage and was born at Wichwatinetz, near Dubossary, in Russia. At an early age the little Anton went with his par ents to Moscow. Although his mother was a very clever pianist, the little An ton displayed such unusual talent for music ,that she decided her teaching would not be as thorough as he should have, so at Moscow while yet of very tender years Anton was placed with the finest master of the pianoforte that the ambitious parents could find. Soon after his first appearance in pub lic Anton Rubinstein went, to Paris, where he remained nearly two years. From there he made a continental tour of Europe, playing in all the principal cities, and making pronounced success. After three years spent in concert work, Anton returned to Russia, taking up his house? If the theatre is to be a medium of education, let it be above the people. It may be at first the lower classes will find such pieces dull and uninteresting ; but believe me, it will not be very long before they will have learned to appre ciate their beauties, and will seek the theatre, now become an instrument of civilization for the masses." And in that little paragraph just quoted was expressed the character of the artiste, Anton Rubinstein. During his more than busy life he worked for the highest that he might attain, never once allowing himself to drop to the level of the masses. Not only did he carry himself upward and onward in his art, but he helped to lift those around him, for he placed music on a high standard; permanent in its character. Rubinstein lived to a ripe age, dying November 20, 1894, at Peterhoff, near St. Petersburg.
